ENOUGH AS SHE

This is the best book I’ve read in a long time. I bought it thinking that it would be useful to me in the way I serve as a role model to the girls in my life, but actually, it’s becoming incredibly eye opening about my own behaviors and what I notice in the women around me. This book is written and marketed towards girls, but I think it is invaluable to women as well. I’ve learned so much and I can assure you that this beautiful ok will change the way you think about yourself and the way you can support the girls in your life. Enjoy it! It’s a gem. In addition to reading the book I listened to the audiobook and it was great.

Torn between the desire for your daughter (and/or son, truth be told) to succeed and the concern about losing your kiddo in the process? This book is for you. In "Enough As She Is,"girl expert Rachel Simmons takes our succeed-at-all-costs culture head-on, exposing the damage it inflicts and giving guidance on how to help your child experience true success without getting sucked in to the demands of unreasonable societal expectations. EASI provides reinforcement to listen to your gut and let your child follow her (his) heart. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I'm the mom of bright kids, and I want the opportunities of the world for them. At the same time, I am appalled by the resume-building expected of *children* and by the pressure to market our kids so that they can succeed. EASI is reassurance that being genuine and true still leads to meaningful success.

Repetitive and droning. Essential message is good but frankly you need to start when they are little. Not in high school.

Every parent caught up in getting their daughter into a "good" school should read this book. It's not for folks who are willing to pay anything to achieve that end but for those who channel their high-achieving daughters into a perpetual cycle of academics, sports, arts and good works in order to impress admissions officers. The author resigned from a Rhodes scholarship to lead a more authentic life, so that tells you something about her point of view. I recommend it to parents all the time.

Anyone who works with girls, has a girl, is a girl, was a girl, knows a girl or wants to make a difference for a girl should check this one out. All the stuff that I see, hear and talk with girls about every day in my work is so beautifully put together here. Highly recommend.

Another great book from Rachel Simmons! So relevant to today’s society. A must read for anyone!

Just started reading this and cannot put it down. I am living this with my 16 year old daughter right now and have already found some very helpful tips!

I purchased this for my daughter who loves to read. She is almost 17. She said she learned a lot reading this and even recommended to friends struggling with the same issues.

This book brought many insights as I try to be a good mother to my daughter's.I will definitely be going back to use this as reference for the many life experiences I expect my daughters to have.

Very good book! Specially if having a teenage daughter.
